Soul Calibur IV

"All of this combines to form one of the most enjoyable fighting games in history, a punishing romp through the ages where swords and souls collide. Sure, it has flaws, but Soulcalibur IV's thrilling fights, competitive online mode and bounty of extras thrusts it to the very top of our must play list. No matter which version you choose, your soul still burns."

"No matter how you slice it, Soulcalibur IV is a great game--even for those who don't consider themselves hardcore fans of the fighting genre."

Soulcalibur returns with the same deep fighting system and a new online mode that makes it an easy game to recommend.

"As a fighting game, Soul Calibur IV is the same deep-but-approachable experience it's always been with tweaks to address concerins from III. As an experience however, functioning online play and single-player enhanced by an RPG-like level of customization make this game probably the most engrossing entry since the original."

"Diehard SoulCalibur fans might still not be satisfied with the 4th installment in the series. While they are stuck in the past comparing it to the Dreamcast game, the series have evolved in SoulCalibur IV and yet managed to bring back some key elements we enjoyed throughout the series. You shouldn�t call your game collection a �collection� without a great fighting game on the roster, and SoulCalibur IV fits that title perfectly."
